perfect for a child’s birthday party

First, bake the base. Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until frothy. Then add the flour, baking powder, and pudding powder. Pour the batter into a 26cm springform pan lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at approximately 165°C (325°F) for 30 minutes. For the cream, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Mix the quark with the sour cream, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and lemon flavoring, vanilla sugar, and yogurt. Dissolve the gelatin in the cream, stirring constantly, and fold in the cream. Divide the cream into three portions and color each portion differently. I made pink, purple, and blue cream. You can also color just two portions and leave the cream white or cream. Next, cut the cooled base in half, making three layers in total. Place the cake ring around the bottom layer, spread with jam, and then add the first filling. Do the same with the next layer and the second cream. Finally, place the third layer on top. Now place the cake and the third layer of cream in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Remove the cake ring and cover the cake with the third layer of cream. Now the creative part begins with the decorating: For example, I placed my unicorn in a bed of pistachio nuts, added a few dollops of cream, and decorated the cake with various decorations. It’s best to refrigerate it again for at least 1 hour before eating.
